authorities on the alert. how it is spread, diagnosed and treated. here now with the facts we need to know about ebola. just how is it spread? how easy to catch? >> well we don't actually know where it comes from. we think it is from an animal. and somewhere a animal, maybe a bat, got in contact with with human. and human to human contact. exchange of the blood or secretions. >> when it comes to human contagion, how do you get it? and is it like the flu? >> it is not as easy as the flu. you really have to have some intimate contact which is why we're seeing the doctors which are taking care of the patients getting sick. >> let's talk about symptoms. >> fever, headache, diarrhea and eventually bleeding is what happens and that's what kills you. you have simple ones that are vague.

diarrhea, vomiting stomach pain, loss of appetite and then it's severe and significant. >> those are very familiar. and you could mistake those for something else. >> and the problem is that then it makes it difficult to diagnose. and how you get diagnosed is eventually there is a blood test. but you don't show up for the diagnosis until three weeks sometimes after you have come in contact. >> so you could have it, spread it and not know it. >> right. >> and how do doctors treat it once you have it. >> there isn't any treatment in terms of the medication. we have to be able to do what is called supportive care. so blood transformations and give the patient fluids and hopefully somebody is going to be able to survive it. >> yeah, and why is it some patients can survive and others can't? >> that is always the mystery with any of these viruses. same with hiv. only about 10% of patients do survive. but those are going to be the ones that are going to be able to help affect a cure. >> and we know right now there

is no cure and mortality rate can be as high as 90 percent. >> right. >> so is there a search for a cure. >> what is going to happen is as we did for hiv, we've been down this road before in terms of the immunologist and veerologists and we know how to figure this out. and through the people who can survive it we can figure their immune response and effect a treatment. >> so with everybody talking about this and a little concern concerned, what is the most important thing you believe we here need to keep in mind about ebola. >> i think it's specifically d.c. we are in a very international community and we've just got to be smart about it and not be projed abo ed prejudiced about it. if you were planning a trip to that part of the world, i would rethink. but if you simply want to shake hands with somebody born there, that's fine. let's not incite hysteria.
